Safety information
WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specied herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Ensure that you read and understand the XM system user guide before
using any XM system.
The XM system can be used in a variety of environments and applications.
To ensure the safety of the user and other personnel in the vicinity it is
therefore paramount that a comprehensive risk assessment is carried out
for the machine under test before using the XM system. It is the responsibility
of the user to esnure the system is safe to use.
This should be carried out by qualied users (requiring machine
competency, applicable technical knowledge and a trained risk assessor)
with consideration for the safety of all personnel. The risks identied must
be mitigated prior to using the product. The risk assessment should pay
particular attention to machine, manual handling, mechanical, laser, electrical,
power and bre optic safety.
Based on current research, the wireless devices used in this product
would not seem to pose a signicant health problem for the vast majority of
pacemaker wearers. However, people with pacemakers may want to ensure
a minimum distance of 3 cm between the XM system and the pacemaker.
